The Ottawa Conservation District is staffed with passionate professionals that are happy to help educate the public on natural resource matters. Outreach is available to professional partners, clubs, organizations, schools, or any other group that is looking for an educational presentation on natural resource topics. Some of the topics we’ve covered in past presentations are recycling, native plants, watershed education, and critical dunes ecosystems. We are happy to tailor content and time limit to fit the audience. Want to set up an educational event with the Ottawa Conservation District? Contact us at ottawacd@macd.org or 616-842-5852 Ext. 5 to ask about available staff. If we aren’t able to fullfill your request, we’ll do our best to give you other recommendations!
Every year, Ottawa Conservation District in partnership with Allegan Conservation District and the Outdoor Discover Center hosts our Cultivating Reslience Winter Conference. This day creates oportunities for both Ottawa and Allegan County farmers to gather for networking and to learn about new practices and tools available to cultivate resliency throughout their farming operations.
Our annual Conservation on Tap series offers a casual way for residents to learn more about local natural resource issues and topics while supporting a local brewery!
The District offers educational workshops for people of all ages throughout the year. Check out our calendar for information on upcoming events.
